    @epidiah They're not weird in terms of shape or material, but I show off my invisible ink dice a lot

    @epidiah This chonker just arrived from a Kickstarter last summer (Lord of the Dice). It's a big metal thing that has spinners on the faces for each die.

    Don't drop this thing. Anywhere.

    Edit: the dice box in the background of the picture is also metal and extremely heavy. I don't even have expensive metal or handmade dice that would warrant such a box...

    Hand holding a large rounded cube about the size of a nectarine. The cube has a shiny polished gold color finish. Each face is a circular dial with a different mythological creature on it and the rim of each dial is marked off in segments corresponding to the sides of a polyhedral die.

    @epidiah
    @mswhitemage picked up this weird d6 in a "mug of random dice" once. It's numbered 0,1,1,1,2,3 and we haven't been able to find reference to it anywhere.

    Best we can figure (based on a similar one that goes 1,1,1,2,2,FATE in a Terminator miniatures game) it might be a wargame thing to determine activations in a round?

    @ve4grm @epidiah @mswhitemage I found it! It's from Mindtrap. See Row 33 here http://www.dicecollector.com/MINT21.HTM

    @epidiah I like my seven sided. There also 5, 9, 11, 13, etc sided but I do not find appealing.

    @epidiah I enjoy my deeply impractical d100 which is basically a sphere

    @epidiah
    A d6 made of metal, it looks like a tiny rolling pin you would use in baking.

    I also have two that are made of bone IIRC (but those are just standard d6 units).

    I had a chance this morning to snap a pic.

    two dice: on the left is a metal cylinder with hexagonal sides. on each side are small holes carved to create the normal die pips. on the right is a normal d6, except it's been stained black with cream colored dots on each side. close inspection shows the carving grain of the bone used.

    @epidiah Two hexadecimal dice. I have used them for DCC, but they predate it.

    @epidiah

    A friend sent me a DCC set once. I have a tiny d6 that look like it might be made of amber (doubt it) & a couple blue ones that came in a TSR box with a crayon from when I was... younger.

    So, nothing very weird.

    @epidiah i have a bunch of d16s to cast the I Ching as close to the yarrowstalk method(math-wise) as possible, without it taking forever. It still takes forever.

    @epidiah I still have some d8s that are marked I, III, IV and VI twice.

    They were made to imitate ancient Roman tali, which were themselves made from sheep's knucklebones but numbered to have the same average as a cubic d6.

    Bought them to play Fvlminata, but never used them.

    @epidiah I have a bespoke 16 sided die that was for a specific RPG from back in the day and I can no longer remember the title. The die is useless for anything else.

    @epidiah I have a single 2d6 die. It's a clear d6, with a smaller d6 inside it.

    @epidiah
    i own a bunch of Dragon Dice (like the game) on account of how after the game failed miserably you could send TSR a few dollars and they'd send you a set of their remaining stock

    most of them are d6s of various size, representing characters/units, with a face icon and then different numbers of swords/arrows/wands on them on different faces, for actions

    then there's d12s that have like claws and heads and tails on them, representing dragons

    @saddestrobots @epidiah oh shit, I still have a bunch of Dragon Dice too. When I did my big game purge last year I couldn't even give them away, and as I refuse to dump shit in landfill there they sit... mocking me and tempting me to make some game with them.

    @epidiah bone and horn dice I got somewhere. Another pair of bone dice I got at the merch tables at a pow-wow. I think these are my favorites though: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1422641660/fablestone-dice-bone-origins
